Note:
I made a correction in a couple of the lyrics. Instead of what was written at
the end of the third line (ཕེབས་ "pheb" which is the honorific form of the
verbs "to go" and "to come"), I replaced it with what is
clearly being sung in that line: སླེབས་ "leb" which means "to arrive". I
also had to change the word འབྲུ་མོ "dru mo" (which does not seem to be a word)
to འབྲི་མོ "dri mo" (which is a female yak, and is clearly what is
meant here). Other than these small errors with the lyrics, this was a pleasure
to translate, with its overall sweet message of love and devotion for all the
various beings who have been kind to him in one way or another throughout his
life.

Call of the White Crane

From the singing nomads of the grasslands of Amdo and Kham, to the nightclubs of Lhasa--and even including Tibetans in exile across the globe--we bring you some of the most incredible and inspiring Tibetan music videos for your listening and viewing pleasure. With our original translations of such wonderful and soulful music, it is our hope that people from all over can appreciate and connect with the voices of Tibet--crying out for their own people, their own land, and their own traditions. The 'Call of the White Crane' resonates through the voices of Tibet's pawo and pamo (heroes and heroines) who tirelessly work to lift the spirits of their people and ensure the longevity of their precious culture.
